Starway to (the SL 1200) Heaven

Yesterday the parcel boy knocked at my office door:

So, what is inside the package ???
Well, there's about two years and half of searching, reading, studying, comparing, inquirying, thinking... and again searching, reading,...

But at the very end, the final ideas come out from AOS forum, where lot of people experienced before and better than me the items I'm going to show you.

Now, let's open the package:

finally, new shoes for the long ride to the top of the starway. BTW, it's unbelievable how this feet are seriuosly made, for the few money they cost

I've not installed these jewels (ehm), yet. I planned doing this by the next week-end or two, but I feel the need to thank all the SL 1200 lovers at AOS, (starting from our admin Marco).
But, mainly, I have to thank Dave Cawley, because it really made a seriuos job with his holistic approach to the SL 1200 mods: all the pieces I was searching for, all tested, matched, from the same seller.

Thank you

PS: I'm not involved in any way with Dave Cawley business. The above is just a feedback from an ordinary customer.

GOOD MAN! Look at that! You are in for a treat!

You could have bought a Spacedeck for the amount all that lot cost....... ;)

You lucky so and so,enjoy it of coarse we do not believe you got this stuff until you post some thoughts( you will love the Isonoes!):)

Hi Giovanni,

Nice one, but where's the SL-1200 to partner with all your new toys? :eyebrows:

;)

Good luck with your Techy journey - it looks like you go into the same meticulous detail I do when embarking on a project!

Keep us posted of your progress :cool:

Marco.

Holà Marco,
I hope by tomorrow to start installing something.
Right now I'm fighting hard with the DL103SA... grrrrrr... nuts too short, counterweight too light... but the HA 500 sounds veeery fine (many thanks you for that ;-). BTW, the HA 500 impressed me about how low noise it is. I didn't beleave that 8-O

pfiuuu... what a busy day...

Here we go, all the new pieces in their own place

Wow! it works !
Cheers :cool:

You can see my brand new DL 103 SA, also

Next: some details with the crazy path to install & setup the DENON DL 103 SA cartridge. But you have to wait some day, tomorrow is a new week of hard work :(

Looks great. Which version of 1210 is this one?

uh, sorry... :doh: it's an SL 1210 M5G

Same as mine, Dave - the best one! ;)

Looking good, Giovanni - glad the HA-500 is hitting the spot.... A big loving close-up of it would be good for old times sake! :eyebrows:

So how does it all sound so far? I think you'll have a very nice sounding deck there :cool:

Marco.
